Experiments and theory on ultrafast dynamics in strongly correlated systems have been rapidly advancing over the last few years. The optical creation and manipulation of out-of-equilibrium states of matter have become a new, versatile tool, opening new doors to explore the potential of strongly correlated materials and posing new challenges for their theoretical description. This workshop brings together different research groups working on problems related to the dynamics of correlated electron systems. Our particular goal is to promote closer interactions and cooperation between experiment and theory in this subject area. This meeting aims to address specific relevant topics, in particular in the areas of

Charge density wave dynamics
Metal-insulator transitions and Mott-Hubbard systems
Ultrafast processes in magnets
Out-of-equilibirum superconductivity
Periodically driven systems
Phenomena involving photo-doping
XFEL science

The workshop includes talks by invited speakers, oral contributions and poster presentations.
